No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I'm not sure who made your item, at first glance. I'll see what I can come up with.

Pressed glass is glass that has been made by the process of hand or machine pressing (rather than "blowing" for example).

Depression glass is one type of pressed glass - it was made in the USA in the Depression era (circa 1930s) and was generally machine pressed on production lines. It is generally found in utilitarian shapes, such as luncheon sets, dinner sets, water sets and stemware - and in pale colors, such as light pink, green and blue. The moulded patterns tend to be light and in low relief. Typical manufacturers were companies such as Jeanette, Anchor Hocking and Federal.

Interesting. Almost looks like wings on the base to accentuate the seams. Of course by the depression era, celery vases were a thing of the past. The pressing of glass really hit its stride in what we call EAPG or early American pressed glass from about 1870 onwards when glass could be produced abundantly and cheaply. This particular piece does not look American to me. Terry

Fiddlesticks - I presume your vase has "celery" marked on it somewhere. This was a tax fiddle in the UK (and elsewhere??) immediately post WW2. Any container to hold foodstuffs attracted low or zero tax. No one seriously expected it to be used for anything other than flowers!

I don't recognise your vase. It would be a help generally if everyone would put their location (just country will do fine) on their Profile as an aid to first-stage guesswork as to where things might have originated.

Adam? I bought this vase last week, on first appraisal I thought Webb or Whitefriars. I was very confused to read the etched word 'Celery' to the uppermost rim! There's loads of wear to the base (concave circular pontil mark) and it did make me scratch my head a bit, trying to work out why they would acid etch it. :roll:

I feel bad hijacking Fiddlesticks thread, but I wasn't going to post this vase at all...but how can I resist now? :lol: :lol:
